บท 1063: Do You Want to Enter the Laboratory?

At the end of the year, with numerous classes to complete, Gu Yang found herself returning to Hua University more frequently.

When she and Gu Jin were not in the dormitory, Qiao Manman and Ning Gui spent a lot of time together. Ning Gui, who was somewhat socially anxious, usually stayed in the library outside of class. Occasionally, Qiao Manman would drag her out for some fun.

Ning Shen had been unusually busy lately and had not used Mrs. Ning to pressure Ning Gui into going home. This temporary reprieve offered Ning Gui some relief, but with the winter break approaching, she felt increasingly trapped.

Despite her seemingly glamorous position as a member of the Ning family, Ning Gui felt far from free. Everything she and her mother had relied on Ning Shen. Even when he was preoccupied and unable to control her, she remained bound to him, like a kite tethered by an invisible string in his hand. The sense of entrapment was inescapable.
